About this pro

As many of my clients speak English as a second language, in certain instances I will explain why I have made particular changes to help them toward expressing themselves more clearly. As an experienced ESL teacher I am familiar with the ways in which the syntax of a writer's native language can interfere with unambiguous expression in English. Most of my present clients have been referred to me by former clients who have found my services valuable.
I take great pleasure in the process of helping writers express their thoughts as clearly and concisely as possible. The many messages that I have received from my clients thanking me for exceeding their expectations by not only helping them with the project at hand but providing them with useful advice to improve their future writing efforts makes my work fulfilling and enjoyable.

I am satisfied with Steve's work. Each work was edited in a clear language and in a high level of quality. In addition, he returns my work on time. He responded every question that I asked. I leaned a lot from him and his comments.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My pricing system is quite simple: $3.00 per page, double-spaced, 12-point font, as long as I have at least one full day to do my work with a maximum of 15 pages per day per client. For example, I can return a 12-page document that I receive on Monday by Wednesday at the rates given above. I can do overnight work if necessary (a document sent on Monday that must be returned on Tuesday) in which case my rates are $5.00 per page.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I was led to it through my teaching experience. It was a natural step to take from correcting my students' written exercises to more thoroughly editing others' writing efforts.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Most of my clients are graduate students from countries outside the US who need help with grammar, sentence structure, paragraph structure and word choice in their academic papers of varying lengths. These range from short weekly papers two to four pages in length to dissertations. Many of them are graduate students in the sciences or engineering, and many are seeking Master's degrees in teaching. I have also edited chapters or full-length book manuscripts, most of them nonfiction.
